So much good conservation and the result is so many Piping Plovers this year at Milford Point. Thank you, diligent volunteers & staff, & to the visitors who keep an eye on this threatened species ctaudubon.org/2023/07/combin…

The Milford Point Ospreys will be fledging any time now but you can still see them on camera as they stretch their wings. ctaudubon.org/2023/07/combin…

One good sign that Ospreys are fledging: a visitor to CTAudubon's Milford Pt Coastal Center yesterday saw 35 (!) Ospreys. The young birds on the Coastal Center are still showing off on the Osprey Cam ctaudubon.org/osprey-nation-…

Shorebirds are arriving at Milford Point. It's a great time to view them. But please visit as the tide is dropping & walk below the high tide line. It's for the good of the birds, who are here to feed and rest. ctaudubon.org/2023/07/tips-t…
